I've given up with quadrant, I can't tell the difference between 1100 or 1300.

Pays has never scored high for me in the past, but its always had the best seats of my pants performance. Best rom available!
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
How's about video recording with 720p with this ROM? Still laggy? Any upgrade for fps?

Anyone here tried OpenDesire yet? It's non-Sense ROM but good 720p recording.

Look like I will give this a try.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
I love OpenDesire, but I can't deal with the OJ death and subsequent battery drain on AOSP ROM's anymore, annoys the crap outta me...
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
mr pays... so you wont let me go anywhere and want me to come to your rom everytime... hmmm... because i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it :D

thanks for the update. now back to pays rom :) how do we make a kiss icon hehe for the rom i means :P

have to ditch defrost and pinky for pays rom on both the phones i have :)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Great ROM, but suffers the infamous bug affecting all FroYo Sense ROMs so far: the A2DP music playback is definitely stopped by many notification sounds, including Maps Navigation voice prompts, making it impossible to use.

I don't know if it's a general issue or if it's related to my BT headset, a Sony Ericsson MW600: the only thing that I know for sure is that no Sense-free ROM suffer that.

Another minor issue: at every reboot a "SIM card changed" message is shown as a notification, leading to a Settings app FC if tapped.
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
Ooooh, how I have longed for this update!

Onlt one problem, I've had the 1.9 version for so long now (longer than I've ever used a ROM) that I don't want to wipe it! My experiences of Titanium is what you might call catastrophic.

Is it absolutely crucial to wipe everthing if I update from 1.9?

It seems awesome so I might just go ahead and wipe it anyways, but I'd rather not ;)
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
try reformatting (not a quick format) of the sd card using your computer, then a partition it the usual way. thats what I had to do when my files werent saving properly. I think it was down to the files system corrupted + a few bad blocks showing up.

after the reformat it fixed itself for me.
[Desire Android Development] nibot88:
First I have to thank you for this Rom Pay.

I first flashed one of your Roms yesterday and had some significant problems.

But everything worked out fine for me and it wasn't the rom's fault ...

So ... atm I'm writing a Review on your Rom, documenting my mistakes and later the full Review.

I just published the first Part of my Review stating my Problems and my first impressions on the Rom.

nibot.de/?p=81

Sadly I can't Post the Link directly, 'cause I never wrote a post here.

Update directly after I got the permission :)
[Desire Android Development] sudman:
Anybody else getting a Force Close when trying to edit APN settings??
[Desire Android Development] jolaren:
Same here. It's a big sluggish.. and the google maps etc are there, should be set apart. And also I get this error in the status bar "Mounted ReadOnly; The SD card has an unexpected problem. Tapping...". And also my SD card is full but I don't know how cause I had alot of space before installing / wiping everything.
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
THANKS :)

Pays -Rom 2.0 problem with HTC ringtones

First I have to thank you for this fantastic Rom.

I have a problem when a try to change ringtones, the programm htc-ringtones crashes ?

Thank you
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
I was getting this around the same time too. I think it labelled my SD Card 'dirty', but couldn't clean it with a chkdsk like windows can.

after doing the following it was working smooth as ever (this was on pays1.9)
[Desire Android Development] lisboapcs:
I also have a Sony Ericsson MW600 and I never had any of these problems you mentioned.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
So far so good and absolutely loving this ROM! :D

Haven't experienced any of the issues mentioned so far, so not sure what I did right, but glad I did... :p
[Desire Android Development] Nosrulz:
Installed 1.9 about 2 days ago and now on to 2.0. :)

So far loving this ROM, works flawlessly for me. I had an issue with clockwork recovery not being able to mount sd-ext because i was using ext4 and when i tried to install 2.0 without wiping the ext partition it caused the Desire to freeze on the white 'HTC' boot screen.

After formatting the partition to ext3 and having a clean partition it installed with no problems.

Keep up the good work. :)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Thank you for your reply. Are you using the stock Sense music player or another player from the Market?
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Yep, here I am.
[Desire Android Development] nico1375:
Just a question regarding this headset.

The charging connector is micro-usb? Same as the Desire? I wouldn't like to carry 2 different chargers...

How is the sound quality?
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
It's simply the best BT headset out there (and I have tried tons of them, you can trust me). And, yes: it has the same Desire (and most newest Nokia) plug.
[Desire Android Development] davdavo:
$HOOOT! This ROM is uber AWESOME! :)

I've tried all other ROMs on this forum and others (e.g Modaco). THIS ROM ROCKS, everything works well.

I'm normally a tight a$$ -but I'm breaking the rules on this occassion :p you deserve a couple of "cold beers" sent in your direction :D :D

Keep up the good work mate.
[Desire Android Development] nico1375:
I read that the caller ID is not displayed on the mw600, nor the tacks titles...

Do you confirm those negative points?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Same here! Excellent work needs to be rewarded so I'll be throwing a few sheckles the way of mister Pay... :p
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Yes I do, although I don't consider them as issues: I use my headset while riding my motorbike, so I don't care about its display.

The superior sound quality and the good battery life (a full work day of A2DP streaming), in conjunction with the ability to stick in my favourite earbuds, make the MW600 the best headset out there.

If only it works correctly with FroYo Sense ROMs... :(
[Desire Android Development] Miky.Ne:
You can access your root folder using Root Explorer. There, you'll find a directory called SD-ext which is about the size of your EXT partition and has all the apparel you installed. I think this is the mount point of the ext partition (I'm currently using open desire)
[Desire Android Development] Furma:
how to remove the android battery icon and use the alternative?

tnx
[Desire Android Development] jolaren:
Htc ime mod not functional
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
smart keyboard pro, ultra keyboard also not working :(

cant live with smart keyboard... its like iphone keyboard which is really helpful. please sort out the bugs.

thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Furma:
erm one more problem

how to install aps to sd?

with version 1.9 i could do it (i even used "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2" command)

but now, after doing clean install (wiped all data, installed new radio and rom v2.0, formated sd:ext partition) every app has the move to sd command greyed out

and i mean every app.

edit*

nvm, had to do the whole "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2" procedure again..
[Desire Android Development] jolaren:
Did it become less sluggish after? My biggest concern is the lag and no good keyboard
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Sluggish? Mine is cruising... SD was formatted a while ago using ROM Manager.

I don't use HTC_IME but all my keyboards are working fine, Swiftkey is great.
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
Um guys has my install gone wrong? The screen just sits at the htc Pays screen and switches on and off, been doing that for some time now...
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Relying only on benchmark apps is not a good practice as your comment (that I back) is demonstrating. ;)

Yes, Quadrant shows poor indexes for all Sense-based ROMs, but I think that's a Quadrant' fault.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
You're stuck in a "boot loop". Pull out your battery and flash (or even download) the ROM again, and do not flash nothing else until a complete reboot is done.
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
So thats what a boot loop is, thank you :). So after the initial setup is when the battery mod should be applied?
[Desire Android Development] jolaren:
Formatting the sd card now, can anyone guide me on how it should be formated? swap, ext4?, fat32.. it's the standard sdcard that came with the desire
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
I'm not basing it on that. I merely posted what my Quadrant score was.

I'm basing it on real world usage throughout the day... ;)
[Desire Android Development] lam30:
After you flash, I advise you to reboot again. (Do not set up anything yet, hold power switch, power off, then power on again) After it's loaded up, power off again. This time, start the recovery and flash the batt mod (vol down + power). It worked for me. Hope this helps. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Kulset:
I'm experiencing a error when I try sending an MMS, getting the error "Message format corrupt" whenever I try sending an MMS to a Cellphone nr, but no errors when I try sending to an email address.

I'm currently located in Qatar with sim card from Qatar (Qtel), APN settings are correctly set up manually.

Any idea what is the problem? Did not have any problem with any previous roms I've tried :)

Thanks...
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
Hey Pay!

Ich wüsste gerne ob mit deinem Rom auch automatische Hintergrundbeleuchtung funktioniert? Bisher bin ich deshalb bei OpenDesire geblieben, aber ich vermisse das FM Radio :)
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
When I have time I create a addon :-)

You mean the circle without %?

Did you select all wipe options in the recovery mode?

Tried to add it in the past but it seems the author didn't really add it to the list and I really don't want to spam his/her inbox.. :)

Did you do a full wipe?

Did you restore any kind of backup?

Nice to share reviews, this might helps others, too!

So give it a go :)

Did you partition your sd card?

ext2/3/4 ?

THIS POST MAKES ME HAPPY! :D

I will twitter it, thank you!

After the first boot go into the recovery again and just flash the addon package!

What means not working (FC, install error, etc)?

Which packages did you try to install (apk, market, etc)?

After the first reboot you can flash it when ever you want. :)

Läuft alles ;)

@All:

Thanks for all the feedback! :)
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
Hmm... hab grad den Rom installiert (Download dauert 1 stunden in dem Kaff hier ^^) aber so richtig funktioniert das mit der Autom. Hintergrundbeleuchtung nicht. Die ist dauerhaft hoch, aber ich kann keine Veränderung feststellen wenn es heller wird :(

Außerdem kann ich über das Widget Energiesteuerung nicht auf Automatik stellen, geht nur im Menü. Mit OpenDesire funktioniert das wunderbar. Kann das am Kernel liegen?

Edit: Ich nehme alles zurück und behaupte das Gegenteil :) Funktioniert super! Ich hab einen neuen Rom gefunden. Gute Arbeit!
[Desire Android Development] davdavo:
Pays, can you explain odexed and de-odexed to me? No flipping idea what it means when you said "Full De-odexed" :p

Future release wish list:

modinstalllocation

appbrain

CifsManager

SetCPU

3D Gallery

Market Enabler

Swiftkey keyboard

Cyanogens APN List

Speed tweaks (uhh...just thought I'd throw that in, there is nothing wrong with the speed of current ROM :D)
[Desire Android Development] hunti86:
Created this account just to say thanks a million pays! Loving your rom! =))))))))

THough i'm still using ur v1.9. hehe. it rocks.
[Desire Android Development] l0nEr:
Hmm... what is this for? What will it do? Thanks
[Desire Android Development] davdavo:
I think that was the method to install the battery mod. You have to do it straight away after the first reboot.
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
What means not working (FC, install error, etc)?

Which packages did you try to install (apk, market, etc)?

Pays.... smart keyboard and google earth (as i tested mainly these) does not work and are installed from Market. They give force close message. Installation issues again. Please do something as i love the ROM
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
I installed mine from backed up apk's and they both work just fine...strange...:confused:
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Working here too...

Battery hardly dropped at all during the night, and best of all, OJ still works after switching back to a Sense ROM, haha!

This ROM has really given me a whole new love for my Desire again, awesome!
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
Cool, new version availible.

Gonna try this one as soon as possible. Unfortunately there is no time to test today...
[Desire Android Development] JHalliday0:
How is the battery on this ROM 2.0? Still nice? I'm thinking of using it (i'm on NextSense)
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
Can someone tell me where the option is to set apps2sd on this ROM as I cant find it. I do have an ext3 partition but apps don't automatically install there.
[Desire Android Development] StR@ng3r:
Is there an interactive CPU governor on this one?
[Desire Android Development] ajoesmith:
what is OJ?
[Desire Android Development] StR@ng3r:
optical joystick
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
No interactive
[Desire Android Development] Furma:
market/app brain program installations freeze with version 2.0 of this rom

had no such problems with 1.9

sometimes applications will install, but most of the time they wont

also how to disable/erase google talk? i have no use for it, and i keep getting "unable to login into google talk" (or something like that) in notification bar

everything else works as usual (great)
[Desire Android Development] l0nEr:
Hmm.. i completely dun understand the new battery icon. Its totally green even when the battery has fallen to half (according to about battery). Is my battery icon working properly?

Also, how do I install the quickoffice? Do i flash it in recovery mode? Or extract the apk and install? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Let the battery run down a bit more and you will understand it, its awesome... :-) still no issues, love this ROM!

You flash the added apps zip file from recovery after the ROM is loaded to install Quickoffice etc...
[Desire Android Development] lisboapcs:
Go to download folder and erase everything and try again.
[Desire Android Development] stevebrush:
Sorry, but this works...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=751439

Just adb push the files in recovery mode.

Kernel module in /system/lib/modules and init script in /system/etc/init.d for automatic load at startup.

Just comment the line in the init script 90files that set the governer to ondemand because the provided script set it to interactive before this file...

No need to use setcpu...
[Desire Android Development] Furma:
the folder is already empty
[Desire Android Development] magesha:
Awesome Rom - Thanks!

Hi Pays,

I have been using this rom for a week on and off. Tried a whole bunch of different roms, but found yours to be the fastest and most stable.. Kudos!:):)

I have two questions in terms of usage:

1. The home screen switching/reorder: When in the zoomed out mode, I read that the home screens can be re-ordered, both in Modaco and your rom. But, I am not able to get this to work. Do I need to enable this somewhere?

2. Swype and other keyboards: I see in spareparts that there are some options to install three other keyboards. After I install them, where can I enable their usage?

Thanks,

Magesha

PS: Ohh, I am using 1.9 right now as it works great; will install 2.0 in a few days!
[Desire Android Development] lisboapcs:
\

I also had the same problem and after I erased the files on download folder the problem was gone. Sorry it did not work for you.
[Desire Android Development] ilegend:
i cant reboot from 2.0 no matter what ive tried. it works just fine until i try to reboot it and it gets stuck at htc bootscreen. anyone got ideas on how to solve this problem?
[Desire Android Development] VisitorG:
Hi,

Thanks for the ROM and the tuto.

It worked fine the second time (first time I didn't wiped everything).

But I have an issue.

I can't seem to add a second account to my gmail application.

Whenever I try, everything seems to go fine with the registration (logging, syncing etc) but the account isn't displayed in the list.

Anybody has any idea what the problem might be?

Has anybody set two accounts withoud problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] arjman22:
I've tried flashing this rom but to no use liitle over half way through flashing it freezes and starts deleting files and nothing happenes, i've wiped everything and repartitioned the sd card all over again, but still i keep having the problem,i use amon ra recovery, can anyone help i've been using rom by dj droid for a while then i heard about this rom, byt nothing yet, as i write this i'm romless. :<
[Desire Android Development] arjman22:
This rom put up a lot of fight but i finally flashed it, and installed the arabic fonts that also took a while now i can finally install my apps,. thanks again
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Now, what you should do is:

1. Take out your battery.

2. Back up your SD card data (copy it to PC)

3. Put battery back. Press & Hold Volume key down while press power button. Go to recovery menu.

4. Do a full wipe: reset fac data, wipe data/cache/dalvik cache.

5. Wipe SD extenion (careful: it will delete all data in yr sd card), this is to reformat your sd card to new partitions for fresh use.

6. Partition your SD card: i recommend swap:0, ext2/3: 512MB, then the rest. Then you must upgrade ext2 to ext3.

7. Flash the ROM, then reboot. Pls don't do any setup after first reboot. Then reboot phone 2nd time again. After this you can do full set up to your phone. (If u wanna flash any mod: status bar/ battery mod...pls do it before this)

Pls try it & let us know your result.

Hope that helps :)
[Desire Android Development] l0nEr:
Hey, i partition my card using ROM Manager (the latest version), any idea if it is ext2 or ext3? Is there any way to verify, or upgrade to ext3?

anyway, it seems like not many apps support app2sd. most of my apps can only be on the phone (using the app app 2 sd to move them).
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
you can't access the /system/app/ folder in usual operation because it is read-only. you need to use ADB to mount and uninstall the program/delete the APK's from the /system/app dir.

you can change the input default in spare parts, or in /settings/Language and Keyboard. failing that you need to check the application defaults in /settings/applications/manage applications, and clear it from the keyboards you do not want to be used.

when in the gmail/inbox screen, press menu, then accounts. can you view the second account there? if you click it, it will show the inbox for that account.

If you want them to show together, I would recommend you tell one gmail account to pick the mail up for both (the can be done in the settings in the web-based version), and you can add labels so you know which account the emails are send/received easily.

Every app supports ext2/ext3 a2sd because it is a hack. the froyo a2sd is not always supported. and try using amon-ra (the green recovery screen that is flashed from your PC). in there you can upgrade your ext2 to ext3. afaik even if it is already ext3 it wont break it.
[Desire Android Development] kai84m:
Hi, just flashed Pays 2.0.

After i restored my apps an a few settings with titanium the HTC Widgets like sandwatch etc. are no longer available. If i click on "Download HTC Widgets" the Widgets are listed as installed but i cant find them in the widged list. :confused:

720p Recording

Kickass mod.. Is 720p recording available with this rom?
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
Very nice and fast rom Pays!!!!

Thnx!
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Yes, it's available but still laggy at low brightness.
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
I noticed battery drained very fast with average usage. I am using latest radio. Anyone else same?
[Desire Android Development] ccy1985125:
Yes, if your radio version is 5.x (e.g. 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2).

If your radio version is below 5.x , then you are not able to use the recording function.

I do not have this problem.

But I have another battery problem, the power drops suddenly and raises after few seconds.

e.g. Original remaining 75%, then it drops to 40% suddenly and raises back to 74% after few seconds.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Battery life for me is fantastic so far!
[Desire Android Development] Mastermarks:
With this rom i can't install anything from the market. Is it caused by the ext3 partition? It says installation unsuccessful and there's nothing i can do. Now i will re-install the rom with a ext2 partition and see what will happen.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Not sure, I have an ext3 partition and its working fine, but give it a shot...
[Desire Android Development] kai84m:
I will restore my modaco r8. This Rom is unfortunately to buggy I have interruptions when playing music while surfing, even more market issues. Sorry pay.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Not buggy for me at all, have tested just about everything now and it all works perfectly... :-) Give me an example of something that's not working for you, I'd like to try and replicate it...
[Desire Android Development] kai84m:
As told, when I play music while I'm surfing the music interrupts often. Scrolling is more laggy than modaco. This pays release is really not my case.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
I also listen to music while browsing and have no issues even with quite a few tabs open in Dolphin HD. Sorry, no idea what's wrong... :-(
[Desire Android Development] lisboapcs:
I am a very heavy user and I tried all roms for Desire here on XDA and Modaco and

none excels Pays. I am getting 48 hours battery life. You need to calibrate your battery.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
+1

I'm experiencing the same...
[Desire Android Development] Ajthescot:
ok i have been a big fan of PaY87s roms since i got my desire around 3month now .

all went quite for a bit and i tryed almost every rom on this board.

i tried out pinky pinkolin roms are up there now with the best also .and has been my fallback for a good few weeks .

2.all seems well no problems to report

2. slight bug my battery wont run out i normaly run out in a 4-5 hour time frame.on all roms .now going on 22hours and have 53% left.

ok thats not realy a bug but i do hammer the battery in a day

little info about battery .

wifi on mobile apn on

sync on mail contacts

sync facebook,news,weather off .

tweet deck refresh every 6minutes

pingchat running in a group chat going on at various times of day

gtalk conversations.

0 calls or texts

i may not have used it as much today but still is an amazing noticable difference

3.as usual great effort from pays thank you sir and i think ill be stick with it for a while

thanks

I have not noticed any issues for music playback when browsing. But I suppose it could be a question of A: Which music player? B: What type of websites? Heavy intensive websites?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Yeah good point!

I'm using Music Mod and doubleTwist for music/podcasts and Dolphin HD for browsing...
